Codex review of the trace-event fold found two merge-blockers. Blocker #1 — format version. Folding usage onto assistant/message and removing the standalone usage/error events changed the persisted SessionEventMap shape, which per the AGENTS.md "bump the version and reject — don't migrate" policy requires a backend to reject any non-current log. Centralize the version in an exported SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION constant (dsh-session), read by both write sites (Session constructor default, SessionStore.prepare header) and the coordinator's load-time assertVersion check. The constant is pinned at 0: while unreleased the on-disk format is unstable/pre-release, so breaking shape churn is absorbed at v0 (no monotonic bump until the first tagged release) and any non-0 log is rejected on load — no migration. Update every test/fixture/doc that stamps a currently-written header to the constant, bump the ACP snapshot fixture + golden headers to v0, and keep the version-rejection test meaningful by switching its bad value to a clearly non-current 99. AGENTS.md documents both the monotonic (SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION) and pinned-0 (session log) pre-release stances. Blocker #2 — restore the late turn-end warn. failTurn now sets the error reason only while the turn is still open; once turn/end is appended (a throwing agent/turn-end listener after closeTurn) the reason can no longer reach the durable log, so the late throw is logged via ctx.logger.warn instead of vanishing into a futile post-close assignment. A regression test asserts the warn fires. Also guard the normal-step assistant/message append with the same content-or-usage condition as the max-tokens branch (a content-less, usage-less step records no trace-only row), with a covering test.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl
The JSONL durable session-persistence backend — a concrete SessionPersistence (the dsh-session-persistence seam). One append-only .jsonl event log per session.
On-disk layout
<root>/
cwd-<sha256(cwd)[:12]>/ # per-project bucket (or _no-cwd/ when no cwd)
<encoded-id>.jsonl # header line + one SessionEvent per line (verbatim)
- The first
.jsonlline is the immutableSessionHeadertagged{ type: 'session', version, id, cwd?, createdAt, parentSession? }; every subsequent line is oneSessionEventJSON, verbatim includingassistant/chunksoseqstays contiguous (events[i].seq === i). - Session ids are unvalidated branded strings, so they are percent-encoded to a single safe path segment before use (no traversal, no collision).
Config
| Key | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
root |
string (required) |
Root directory for all session files. No default — a process.cwd() default would scatter files as the process's cwd changes (bash calls, subprocesses). |
Durability and crash semantics
- Lazy materialization.
create(meta)writes nothing; the.jsonl(header + first batch) is written atomically (temp-write +fsync+ rename) on the firstappend. A created-but-never-appended session leaves nothing on disk and is absent fromlist. - Append-only. Committed events (at or below a flushed
turn/end) are never rewritten. Subsequent appends are line appends at EOF +fsync. - Crash recovery — close, don't truncate. A crash can leave a log whose final turn never closed (real events after the last
turn/end).loadPRESERVES those events (a turn can be huge — they are real work) and closes the orphaned turn by durably appending synthetic boundary events: an errortool/resultfor everytool-callthe crash left unanswered (the loop logs the assistant message before running the tools, so a mid-tool crash leaves dangling calls — andderiveMessages()would replay an assistant tool-call with no result, which providers reject), then astep/endif a step was open, thenturn/end {kind:'interrupted'}, returning a balanced log. Only a never-fully-written torn tail fragment (a final line with no newline / unparseable) isftruncated away before the closers are written. See session persistence. - Contiguous-seq.
loadrejects a mid-log parse error orseqgap (unloadable);appendrejects a batch whose firstseqdoes not continue the stored log, and rejects non-JSON-serializableevent.datanaming the offending event type. - Format version. Only the current
SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION(v0) is supported;loadrejects any other version. While the harness is unreleased the on-disk format is pre-release/unstable: a breaking format change is absorbed at v0 (no bump until the first tagged release) and non-current logs are rejected — there is no migration (no persisted user data to preserve).
Write path
The plugin generalizes the example session-jsonl.ts: it subscribes to session/created (capture the header; persist a fork's seed once), session/event (snapshot each event when buffering — the live session.events object is mutable), and session/flush/dispose (drain the write-behind buffer through append). A per-session write cursor means a resumed session never re-appends already-stored events. Existing live sessions are seeded on plugin apply (HMR does not replay session/created). All backend operations for one session are serialized, and disposal awaits quiescence (every init + final drain) before returning, so no write lands after teardown.
